One-size round beekeeping veil with a rigid aluminium mesh ring, white fabric hat and skirt and tie closure, 0.2 kg: covers head, face and neck tied over a closed jacket or suit.
The aluminium ring does not give: the mesh keeps its distance from the face in wind and when you bend over, which is the only thing that truly protects.
01 · WHY THE RING
A mesh does not stop the sting; the air between mesh and skin does. Tulle veils give way in wind and when you bend, and that is where the bee gets through. The rigid ring goes right round the head and keeps that chamber in any posture; that is why it is worn with thick clothes and no suit, which is what reviews appreciate most.
02 · WHAT YOU SEE
The weave is coarser than tulle: straight ahead you see well, but it takes sharpness away when hunting eggs at the bottom of the cell, as a French review notes. With side light and a clean mesh you work fine; for looking at eggs all day, a fine black mesh is better. The round shape sees to the sides without turning your head.
03 · HOW TO WEAR IT
No zip and no shirt: the skirt goes outside the closed jacket or suit and the ties fasten it at the neck with no gap. Before going in, turn your head and bend over: the mesh must not touch nose or ears. One size, no measurements published: try it on with your kit on. It is not the replacement veil for zipped suits.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
The same mesh exists in a square format.
